EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry from the 13th century - a Pyx. Crafted by the French School, this gilded copper container adorned with champleve enamel is an exquisite representation of the Gothic period. Measuring at 8.95x6.7 cm, it currently resides in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The Pyx served as a receptacle for holy communion during Christian religious ceremonies and holds significant historical and cultural value. Originating from Limoges, France, this particular Pyx exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship that was characteristic of the Limousin region during that time. Gilded to perfection and embellished with delicate enamelled designs, this Pyx symbolizes both faith and artistic brilliance. The lid adds an extra touch of elegance to its overall appearance. Bequeathed by Bernard Berenson and given in his memory by William Mathewson Milliken, this priceless artifact now stands as a testament to their appreciation for fine art preservation. As we admire this stunning creation captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance within Christianity. This photograph allows us to marvel at the skillful fusion of religion and artistry that defined medieval Europe's creative landscape.
